Hill Harper | Law

A friend to former US President Barack Obama, Hill Harper was born to a family of doctors. He did not pursue a diploma in the medical field, however, and instead delved into acting. He moved to Los Angeles, and in 1993, he received a recurring role in the series Married… with Children. Harper’s fame became evident as he took on more acting parts in movies like He Got Game and Hav Plenty. The nearest he became to becoming a doctor was when he played the role of a coroner in CSI: New York.

What is impressive about Harper is he actually has three diplomas from three Ivy League schools—including a Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School. So, he is a lawyer, an actor, and many more. All those credentials aside, Harper was also named one of the Sexiest Men Alive twice, in 2004 and in 2014. Isn’t that cool?
